bbutle01 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 We have 1.4TB of space dedicated to backups. It seemed to have filled up faster than I expected. I have it set for the 'recomended grooming.' Looking around to see what it backed up, I see that on the linux machines it backed up some pretty darn big log files. And on the exchange machine it backed up the exchange log files... These do need to be archived, yes, but they don't need to be part of my regular backups. I know how to exclude them from being backed up in the future, but how can I groom just those big (20GB+) files out? And I guess the recommended way to do this is to have retrospect run a backup just for those logs, and go directly to DVD/tape? Thanks Oh, and my skill level? Enough to get it running, but not enough to figure out much about what's going wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbutle01 Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Ok, I knew I could remove a point in time, but that's the whole snapshot. I assume there's no way to remove a particular FILE from a snapshot then? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
